Our Accreditations & Standards

ISO 27001 is the world’s best known standard for information security management systems and their requirements. It provides guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system.

ISO 9001 sets out the criteria for a quality management system and is the only standard in the family that can be certified to. E-Sign uses ISO 09001 to help ensure that our customers get consistent and good-quality services, which in turn brings many business benefits.

Our ICO accreditation determines that our processing of personal data complies with GDPR requirements, in line with the accountability principle. The accreditation encourages the use of data protection certification mechanisms as a means to enhance transparency and compliance with GDPR.

Cyber Essentials is a UK Government backed scheme that certifies that our defences will protect against a wide variety of the most common cyber-attacks. These attacks are looking for targets who do not have the Cyber Essentials technical controls in place.

E-Sign is the only electronic signature provider on the Public Service Network. The PSN is the Government’s high security network, which enables public sector organisations to work together, reduce duplication and share resources.

The CCS plays an important role in helping the UK public sector save money when buying common goods and services. We are a Crown Commercial Service Provider, which means we are trusted by the Government and public sector organisations to provide high-quality and high-security solutions.
